Nine has suddenly added the opening match of the 2011 Rugby World Cup to GEM today from 6:00pm AEST in some cities.
Given they still haven’t sent any Amendment it’s making life very difficult to advise you, dear reader, of their current programming.
Still haven’t received on about Melbourne Storms game live in Melbourne for Sunday yet either.
What gives, Nine?
UPDATED:
Friday / Saturday
4pm GEM Perth
5:30pm GEM Adelaide
6pm GEM Melbourne

Is the allblacks game on live this sunday..anyone know? 091011
Seems like the type of thing a network does when they want to ruin a sport – they’ll probably later tell the IRB that ratings were way down (surprising when nobody knew it was going to be on), and try to pay less next time… or just an attempt to let the exclusive rights go to Fox…?
What? If I had known this I would have watched it in Perth. Incompetent fools…
Just letting everyone know that the Storm game will be Live into Melbourne on Sunday. Rabs confirmed it tonight
Too late for me. Not your fault, David.
Does anyone at Nine know what’s happening schedule-wise from one hour to the next? It’s beyond a joke. They will have annoyed people tuning in to watch what was previously scheduled, but missed out on people like me who didn’t know that they’d done a shifty with the Rugby.
Network Nine programming – the home of laughter… Maniacal laughter.
In NZ at the moment, Auckland is rugby crazy, love the passion. There’s a lot of kiwis & Tongans in Australia so the opening match should be on – go All Blacks!
No surprise that Sydney and Brisbane get skipped. I don’t think anyone was seriously thinking that Nine would put up real competition against League.
Ditto GEM Hobart…
Well, I’m watching GEM Newcastle and………..No Rugby! Just another repeat of Friends………… 🙁
nine are idiots, they have this big world sport event and don’t even tell anyone that it will be airing live on gem until the morning of the game, and then they will wonder why no one watched, at least its not on the anti-shipning list otherwise it wouldn’t even be airing on fox sports
Very good move nine.
Oh bugger, I was looking forward to The Zoo at 7pm.
What about the opening ceremony, can that be seen anywhere else other than Foxtel? Starts in 20 minutes as of now.
Triple M informed us on twitter last night that Melbourne/Newcastle game would be live into Melbourne, ch9’s own website now confirms it’s too..
Glad we are not the only ones not receiving anything from Nine!
David – when you say “nationally” are you saying it should also be on GEM NSW & QLD? As EPGs show normal programmming, meaning NSW & QLD have to wait for Nie to air after NRL.
Sorry, I have now updated tonight’s game showing GEM coverage in three cities. Been a bit of a headache to get all the accurate info so bear with me. Looks like no change for Syd and Bris.
How insulting to rugby fans who don’t know it’s on. Sounds like some pressure was brought to bear on Nine …
According to online guides, the replay of Farmer Wants a Wife has been dropped (at least for Victoria), but the replay of Underbelly: Razor will air after the rugby.
Does that GEM scheduling include Melbourne for tonights opening game? I doubt Nine would Ever put sport before their high rating Underbelly.
Rugby World Cup is now Live nationally tonight & tomorrow night.
So people wanting to watch scheduled replays of farmer or underbelly are screwed over? Surely there are more of those fans than the five rugby fans in Victoria.
